😂 coz I’m a damn fool that’s why

Oh sick!

I wonder if the db version just doesn’t have it ‘yet’.

Whiteboards can be linked to and you can paste page links into the whiteboard. So pretty seamless as far as that goes. Ive written script outlines in whiteboard that link to the pages. And there are a lot.

That being said the whiteboard doesn’t like to be drawn on more than like 150 paint strokes. I use it more like a place to lay things out with text blocks that I can move around.

Hyperlinks: I can paste them in but they don’t seem to be clickable at least when I’m trying on mobile while traveling.

Iframe’s: don’t think they work. Would be cool though.

Import/export: 🤷 never tried. Can’t seem to paste an image, perhaps linking to a page would show the image on the page

Templates: non existent

Whiteboard future: 🤷 I hope they keep it, even though I do t use it too much. It’s great to have for those off moments.

Sorry couldn’t be more helpful. Let me know if you want me to test something else.

Whenever car designers use chrome. It grabs the eye because our lizard brain is attracted to the glistening of water due to us needing it to survive. Its primal.

I theory you can do the same stuff, just a different workflow. Stock reaper fX are…ok. But vsts perform the same. But…not so much on Linux. Some do, but others like native instruments don’t nativly. And that’s what’s holding me back from Linux. Too deep into eco systems that aren’t supported. NI, addict it’d ive keys, addictive drums, izotope. If I moved to linux it’d change my sound.

I’ll add one on your behalf

Small prophets is great! Detectorist energy for sure.

If I were in your shoes I would make a couple of videos. Not about the game (directly), but about your ‘why’. With a strong title and thumbnail that makes viewers want answers. Something like ‘why educational games STILL suck’ or ‘learning on computers doesnt have to be dangerous’. For the second one, the potential customer would be like huh? It’s dangerous? How? And then they click.

Then the videos follow a really simple format, 'I want:X but:Y so:Z.

For Instance

’ this AI stuff is getting out of control. Kids are learning from non true sources but what are their alternatives really? Games like this?(show example of trash game)

I WANT: to be there with my kids through their fun learning experience

BUT: oh my god, these games are so lame and boring. How are pre readers even supposed to follow along?

SO: I’m going to develop a game that is fun for the entire family.

Then you state what you want in the game. This game needs: voice over, multi playability so they can play with their friends, be winnable for a child and not just skilled adults, educate about (whatever) then show some development about it. Your struggles along the way, the emotional impact it has on you and the stakes.

Stakes don’t have to be earth shattering. But just think of worst case scenarios and speak on it through the video.

If we can’t get voice over sorted out, I’m not going to be able to play with the whole family because the little ones will leave the room and I can’t wrangle them and play with the older ones at the same time… Etc

Do 12 of theand your on your way. Nothing else on the channel just entertaining vids about educational games.

Could do ones like: the genious of ‘the Oregon trial’ and why the new one failed.

‘Why Laptops don’t solve the massive backpack problem, giving your kids back problems’

‘Educational games are making kids stupider(AI slop, or not engaging etc)’

'Why you dont hear about the games your looking for (because devs aren’t marketers, here are some I found)

Etc.

This way you build up a following of people already interested in the space. Highlight the parents concerns, quell them by saying I see it too, and I’m actively trying to fix it. And they will naturally feel the want to buy Instead of feeling like they are being marketed to. Keep it heart focused.

Good luck! Also lemmi see that game give us the link.
